First time trying from here and the bingsoo is good. Highly would recommend the injulmi bingsoo, sweet and flavorful. The portion is big and plenty for more than one person. The service is also very quick and the workers are friendly.

It's nice to have another spot to order food and drinks in Maryland. There's tons of options to choose from if you're craving bingsoo, bubble tea, or perhaps maybe pastries. I mean they even have coffee here if you really need that caffeine fix too. What I got was the Matcha Rose Latte. It's actually an interesting drink and I could see why it was the 5th most popular drink. I got it with boba, though I think they gave me too much ice and I opted for less. Oh well. I took my time drinking my drink while I ordered the food I got from the other kiosk that was there. I think since this is the only place around the area for bubble tea.. I don't see you wouldn't want to stop here. It's a pretty good addition to Pike Kitchen, and leaves you wanting more to order. I definitely will be coming back more to try out other flavors!

The drinks just tasted like sugar with strong chemically extracted flavors.

Great Concept. I have been here now about 5 times and have tried all of the stalls including the bakery. Very good food choices and a nice mix of Asian foods. It is a great place to go if in a group since there are multiple choices of Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese to choose from

If you want to have options from Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, or Thai cuisine, give this restaurant a try. Prices are very reasonable, and our group's choices were all great. I haven't seen a bigger range of desserts available anywhere--cheesecakes, donuts, hand-made ice cream, cookies, cakes, etc. I had yakisoba which had a choice of meat to add for only $2. Big portions, too. It has lots of parking, but its seating is not designed for long stays--mostly stools at tables. But I'd like to return.

This is the best bubble tea I have ever had! The bubbles are the softest and most delectable bubbles I have ever had! My cup was gone in seconds! Highly recommend!

Love this place so much, delicious tea and really flavorful soft bubbles! The winter melon milk tea is the best I've ever had

I went to Pike Kitchen for the first time, excited to order the Strawberry Rose Jasmine Tea, the image of the drink on the menu showed Boba and jelly toppings on the top of the drink for $6.45. I got my drink and it only had strawberry pieces inside. For that price I assumed it would look like the image that is displayed on the menu, however they told me that you would need to have the toppings charged extra. Why would you display the drink with toppings like that on the menu if they do not arrive with toppings? That is 100% misleading.

A tasty treat when you are out in Rockville! Monster Tea is quite different from other bubble tea chains like Kung Fu Tea, which is refreshing to me. I've stuck with both more traditional (taro milk) teas and also some of the more adventurous ones, like the matcha rose latte. I would caution that you may want to tone down the sugar at ordering to 50% or 0% sugar. Otherwise, it might be a little TOO sweet for you. Drinks are a little pricier, $5.15-5.75 before boba or jelly, but I think it's worth the price.

Worst boba tea place in Rockville in 2021.Everything is artificial, fillered with tea, and expensive compared to so many dozens of boba tea places in this city. I asked for milk tea and they said its non-dairy powder with powdered flavoring. I can barely taste the tea and creamy milk when all i taste is water and sugar. Costed around $8 for a large and $6 for a small.They claim the cakes are fresh but i saw them pull it out of a pre-made frozen aisle box. Plus many of their menu items are not in stock, from bread to pastries to matcha ice cream.On the upside, they got good brown sugar pearl milk and mango-peach tea. But thats all.

Decent Bubble tea with innovative flavors. It sits inside Pike Kitchen which is similar to a food hall.

This bubble tea place is located inside PIKE Kitchen. Cute mini shop, with delicious pastries showcased. The menu, has a lot of cool options from what is pictured, however it would be very helpful to have better descriptions, so I know exactly what's in my drink. Only one employee running the show, Im sure it can be overwhelming. Taking orders and then having to make a lot of drinks. Prices are a little expensive for what you get. I ordered Strawberry Hibiscus tea, it wasn't as sweet as I anticipated. Male employee was ok. I hope the owner or mgmt of this place gets additional help. I might return to try the pastries.

So happy to find a yummy bingsoo place! Really loved the injeolmi one. There was puffed rice, two types of mochi, and almonds. The texture was so good and the powder was layered throughout. It wasn't too sweet either which I enjoyed. The mango bingsoo was much sweeter but I loved the jelly. The mango sorbet or whatever was soo good as well. The two was perfect for 5 people.
